The Republican organs should instructtheir "Washington correspondents to agreeupen the tame stories before they wire them"West at night. Now, yesterday morning oneof the morning organs published the following from its Washington representative :Mr. Hendricks hat nothing to sayabout Magee. He is doubtless jealous because hewas net asked to use his influence In the appointment. The other morning organ puts it up thisway:The public here are inclined to treat this as aalapatllfindrlcks; and hearina: thl, your correspondent sought out the Vice President and askednit opinion of to-day's tatch of api-ointments.ilr.

Nor Is there any bloody i-iirt aboutIt except In tüe minds and months of thosatowhom the war was an offense, and who can notbear to e a soldier nor hear him talk of his services. Journal.Now, all of this sounds very pretty, not"Withstanding the rhetoric is cot particularlybrilliant The Journal's talk about "discriminating between treason and loyalty" wouldcome with tetter grace if it wai not a notorious fact that Republican administrationsfirst saluted treason and hastened to discriminate in favor of those who had beenengaged in the rebellion. One prominentr bei General was called into a RepublicanCabinet, and another sent upon a foreignmi:icD. Marty others were given plasms ofhonor and trust.JUNKETING AT PUBLIC EXPENSE.We referred the other day to that wonderful committee o' Republicans who went"junketing" to fcaa Francisco, New Orleansand Mexico, to spy out the land aa l ascertain why our commerce with Central andSouth America was eo trilling and small.The United States Treasury foots the bill.They went in a palace car as long as theycould find any rails to run on. They foundthem for about forty-one days, and paid $35per day for the car, to say nothing of othsrexpenses. The Chicago Times hunted up thedetails of this disgraceful a'Jair, and we callthe attention of our readers to eome of them.The expenses for three months ran to $5 3U 2.,and these are exclusive of salaries, whichrun at the rate of 57,500 for each of tvoofthe committee and .,C00 for the other one.The Secretary of State of the lasi Republicanadministration has certify d to the correct-cess of the accounts. So the entire affairbears the exclusive brand of Republicanism.Among the items we find a hotel bill inNew York for iVJO. The committee tarrieda leng time there t5 find out about commercial affairs in Central America. The commission got to Philadelphia on the ISth andhit on the 2Uh, and its hotel bill was $72 7s:but this sesnis to be supplemented by someother items. For example, on the 20th ofOctober Commissioner Thatcher's expenses,amounting to C5, were paid. The coaimisiion came from Philadelphia to Chicago,and then went to Baltimore, whre it deposited ;2 in the palm of the Board of Tradeporter, presumably for the commercial information he furnished. The stenographer'sbill for the session of the commission inNew York was $211, and the total expensesfor the month were $511 25 The stenographer at Philadelphia cost $147.0), and thestenographer at Baltimore $0-3. The disbursing clerk found it inconvenient to carrylarge sums cf money loose in hi3 trouserspockets, and he invested the modest sum of42.50 in a "pecketbook for funds."The telegraph bill for November was5110.82, and lor Decjniber $37 05. Anotherhotel bill in 2ew York, November 10, ischarged up at $51.40. On parting with theiraffectionate car employes at Mexico theytipped them S ii&in to tae tune of $1". Carriage hire for five days in the City ci Mexicocost $95, which seems not unreasonable, asthey had to make a good many visits to thepublic offices. They tipred the hotel servants $10 worth, and htd $ JO worth of .shorthand wrk done 'J he commission spenttwo weeks in the City of Mexico, acd thehotel bill of Commissioner Reynolds, of Missouri, was '.2; that of CommissionerThatcher, of Kansas, -..(. and Secretary W.E. Curtis, of Chicago, incurred a hotel bill off U8 in two wetks. Bsidts this, the commission in its corporate capacity had a parlor at $10 a dey, or $140.There was a good deal of money spent between New York and San Francisco andfrom thenCe to Mexico ia "supplies," whichincluded all sorts of eating and drinking,extras and substantial. The commissionevidently euffered for want of food betweenSan Francisco and Mciico, for mere amplesupplies were provided on the return trip.Tje two men and the boy left the Mexicancapital December 14 with öi worth ot provisions. The next day additional suppliesworth $12 were procured. It cost -3 toswitch the car El Paso, and ?150 for ticketsto New Orleans additional tu the 35 a dayfor the car. At El Paso tho commissary department added 22 worth of provisions and1.50 worth was tdded at Houston, and thecommission got to New Orlean cn the Jls',so that two men and a boy ale aneven 1C0 worth cf fjod i:i actk, and at New Orleaos aain thecar posters were tipped 15. a the wiyfrom Houston to New Orleans, in the interest of rigic economy, the corani:33ion sp:;t7 f0 telegraphing &b;ut transportation fortheir car and ?i lor a carriage to go and seeabout it in person. Miscellaneous mealsat New Orleans coat $2 J.50, besides a hoteibill for eleven days of $374 70, and the hotelservants were tipped $10. The stenographerat New Orleans cost ?:)1. 70, and type writerwork 22 25. From New Orleans the Secretary sent an abstract of the Commissioners'repoit to a paper in New York and one inChicago, which appeared in print before thereport itself was opened in the State Departmeat. Tickets to Havana cost 175. Thecommission paid 1,417.50 for its Pullmancar, being .".5 a day for forty-one andcne-half days.Altogether it was a very delightful trip tothe three Republicans. We would like toknow what gocd resulted from it. Perhapsafter the Republican organs set throughwith'OId Jake Thompson," as they call him,they will demonstrate the benefits to accrueto the country from this expensive junketingtrip of these Republicans at Governmentexpense.DESERTING THE "GRAND OLDPARTY."In Indiana and other States of the Norththe colored Republican is gradually gettinghis eyes open to th fact that the whites ofhis party have been simply using him as atool. A4 they bad for him to do was to vote.Thn was amusing, perhap?, for a few years,but the dividends were not large when thetimo came around to parcel out the spoils.The whites took all the offices, while the colored man looked on with his finger in hismouth. During the la3t year the coloredRepublicans have been breaking away fromthe party harness and uniting with theDemocrat;. Not only is this true in Indianaand other Northern States, but we find thedisaffection has reached the colored men ofTexas. . A Dallas, Tex., corresondent aajsthat this break in the Republican ranks istaking dace in that State. Before the election the white Republicans instilled into theminds of the negroes that they would be re1 enslaved in the event of Democratic success.The course of events since March I has bsensuch es to remove the delusion, and the negro's are becoming politically mutinous totheir former white leaders and coachem.It Eferas that a very intelligent coloredpreacher, by the came of Carson, is headingthe Texas revolt from Republicanism. He laregarded as the foremost colored man inTexas in potr t of education add influence.The Dallas Herald of recent date containsthe following very remarkable letter fromhim:To the colored people of the State oT Texas:Tb!s Is to rtrtily ttiat J, W.

This is but the forerunnerof what will soon be a not uncommon occurrence, and our country can not Ii(pe to-rx the dread scourue. Bat we caa wardoff" its ievere3t ravages by immediatelyplacing every city, town and hamlet in thebest possible sanitary condition.No time should be lost in doing this, andour Boards of Health ought everywhere totake hold cf the matter actively and see thatneeded preparations are made for the visitof cholera. The streets and alleys ia all thecitits are in a most filthy condition.Tte garbsge accumulated during thelong montha of cold weatheris encountered in tho alleys, on vacant lots,and -often iu tb? ttreets of Indianapolis,while piles of otr.il and rubbish are a common sight in backyards. Unle33 it is removed ere the warm weather sets in andstarts decomposition this parbage will soonbe masses of rottenness so foul as to poisonthe air we breathe and water we drink, thusin itself breeding disease.

That we are to ba visited bythe chol'.a, vhich has beau sucha phgue in the eastern hemisphere,i3 generally believed by the people,and the majority of physicians say we cannot escape its prevalence incur midt thecoming summer. But that they will takethe needed precautionary measures to makethe ravages of the disease s light as possibleis another matter. The msjoriiy preferwaiting until the eccurge is here, or at leastto run the rik cf its not appearing at all.The authorities, therefore, should act atonce; act S3 energetically and efficiently aapossible in having yard, alleys and streetscleaned, and in taking such other step3 asare needed toward off disease.

The resort to uurr.ritd abnre accomplishes no good to the Republican party, or,for that matter, to any party. We fear ourfriends are falling into the dangerous errorof trying topioiect Republican partisanshipand net Republican principles. BaltimoreAmerican, Rep.Civil Senil e Monarchy.lLommunic4ted.P.-fsidett Jackson was the hrst Presidentto fulJy comprehend the meaning of ourPresidential citations.

He knew that themen who voted for him did not mean forthote who voted agamst him to remain Incontrol of the Government. That wouldhave been the minority ruling the majority,and thus moocrchy would have taknu theplace cf the KepuMic. Jackson understoodthat his election meant the eelection of hisfrierd3 and net his enemies to the minoroffices under him. He did ri.ht to discharge the defeated party and to install thevictorious party. The Republic can onlylast on this rmis.

Bat no tb-y use it to scire Democrats into LfepiriK Republicans in officealler the paop.'e have 4id turn them outnot merely the President acd thosewhm he may appoint, but all thjseholding under his immediate appointees.The election did not mean a fat postolfice forsome man in the community and turn forthe workers to stand an examination forplace under him. but it meant that he issimply the e?ent of the pfople.to put themout. The civil service law is not a penallaw except ai to political assessments nothing else. Any law that is not a penal law issimply a permlsiive law. That is, permitsthe party authorized to do a certain thing ma certain way. In other words, the. lawin reality neither commands nor prohibits,but eimply authorizes, permits or sanctions.Theiefor, we hope that all persons appointed and who have appointments to make willhave the nerve to maks their appointmentsrt&rdlets of the dnde permissive law.A liEMr.icKs Democrat.March ill. 1S?5(soldier Preferred.lConrnuaicated.1As the heeds of departments at Washington are so free to give out that they are going to obey the civil service laws, an old soldier would like to call President Cleveland'sattention to Section 1.731 of the RevisedStatutes cf the United States, which regune3that soldiers honorably discharged shall bepreferred in appointments, and that thecivil service law specially recognizes thatsection as being in force, and I would suggest that the President call the especial attention of the heads of departments to thattection. icrr.p.AN.Indianapolis, March 31.SENT13KL SPECIALS.A Wonderful tiiu Mu and Ills Wife.Special to the Sentinel.Maitso, Ind , March 01 Mr. Isiac E.Daily and wife, thb oldest couple in thiscity, are celebrating his ninty-f jurth bath-day to day.
